Itâ€™s easy to forget that sometimes that WordPress can be used for more than just a blogging platform. Due to its open nature, and thanks to many theme builders, it can easily be turned into a gallery to show off your latest work. Why should you take time away from working on paying jobs to work on your own gallery? There are a slew of themes for WordPress that can do the job for you, and many offer easy customization so it isnâ€™t too obvious that your gallery is an off-the-shelf solution.

Weâ€™ve gathered up a nice selection of free and paid solutions, so you can get that gallery working for you right away â€” no matter what your budget!

Free WordPress Portfolio Themes

Ascari: A very artistic theme, with a unique â€śtopâ€ť button that follows you as you scroll down the page so that the user can quickly return to the point from which they began. This one is definitely more about just showing off your work, but it does it in a beautiful manner.

CSS Gallery: CSS Gallery is built with web designers in mind. Each image on the front page can rated by site visitors, but when they click on the examples, they are taken to the live version of that work. Theme also features spots for GoogleAdSense and 125X125 ads, and, best of all, itâ€™s free.

f8: f8 allows you to customize colors, fonts, front page categories, contact info, slideshow height and other options all from the theme options page in the admin section so that you may change it to your heartâ€™s content. All thumbnails link to full blog posts where you can then provide your users with as much information as you like about the work you did.

Gallery: Built on the Thematic Theme framework, this dark gallery theme is quite the eye catcher. The top row is all 125Ă—125 ad spots, but after that each image is a separate gallery link that when you hover over it, the image slides up to show you the name. The individual post pages will give you more information about the work, who designed it, and where it can be found, as well as allow users to rate it and to leave comments.

iQ2: iQ2 is a fully skinnable, widget-ready, WordPress theme directed at photographers wanting to show off their work, but is easily usable for anyone wanting to show off their works or designs. It does require you download and install the PhotoQ Photoblog Plugin as this is what powers the theme. No charge is associated with this theme, but donations are welcomed.

Well, even while browsing through this website you might have noticed that sometimes you just canâ€™t find the right wordpress theme for your liking. This is because if you need a truly high quality theme, you might need to spend between $12 to $30 on it but in this case, you will really get something outstanding. Have a look and you will see what I mean â€” you canâ€™t get such a theme for free, but the price is truly LOW which is why I decided to feature them!

Sometimes itâ€™s just like searching for a needle in a haystack: if youâ€™ve ever googled for free and quality WordPress Themes, you know exactly what weâ€™re talking about. Most designers love to create WordPress themes, so they can demonstrate the quality of their work and add some fresh works to their portfolios.

However, most WordPress themes are either used too often (Kubrick theme, now K2, is definitely overused) or just have nothing to offer – particularly, if you are looking for a free, impressive and professional design. However, sometimes search is worth it. In the gallery below youâ€™ll find 83 free WordPress Themes you probably havenâ€™t seen yet. All themes offer quality, elegance and a user-friendly interface.
